It’s deceptive to mention the lead without indicating the number of those not for either candidate. Here’s the Times’s report: “

In the Biden-Trump matchup, 44 percent of respondents said they would definitely or probably vote for Mr. Trump, and 38 percent for Mr. Biden. In the Biden-DeSantis matchup, 42 percent said they would definitely or probably vote for Mr. DeSantis, and 37 percent for Mr. Biden. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.”


Looks to me as though there is a solid core of republicans, 44%, whereas dems are unhappy about biden and want another candidate. If it were head to head, biden would probably win. Check out 538 polls for more accurate readings.
